lol i hate them too, my friend is sci in a vesta and runs those runabout pets that tractor and use chroniton, he also uses 2 copies of VM and VM Doffs plus his own ship tractor and jam sensors and uses both the rom placate and adv maco shield placate,,he is very difficult to kill 1 on 1.

Personally, I think they still have more work to do with Siphon Drones (and interceptors!) but I do agree to an extent. I don't believe that there is a particularly good reason for a pet to have a proc or ability that is even close to the magnitude of those used by the players themselves.

If they want to buff an effect against NPCs for PvE they could always just apply negative resistance to an NPC's stats. Of course, I wish they'd add resistance stats to NPCs at all...

Foundry: Yet Another Borg Mission
It's terrible but easy, and these Borg are way cooler than the mess STO and Voyager left us.

just use a polarize hull or apo, those will brake the tractor immediatly

when your hull is less than 50% wont you use fleet support ? c'mon man ...

you want your alpha build to work on every situation ? if you complain so much, i would like to see you fighting someone with eject warp plasma, gravity well3 and 2 copies of tractor beam, its not about the pets you are complainning, its about how limited is your build, and how bad you want it to work

This is BS.

those pets tractor you and use chroniton you hit apo then the vesta ship tractors you and spams you with 2 copies of VM, your practically dead in the water 80% of the time,,im a tac in an escort and i have no problem with cool sci abilities to combat fast moving power punching escorts but pet spam with tractors/cobalts/chroniton and everything else people mentioned is total BS.

no not impossible, he was beating me 5-0 constantly,,i changed my build and respec and last time we played it was a classic standoff,,,after 20 mins the score was 1-1 so we called it quits and havent fought since. But pets that can tractor and use chroniton are not skill you just fire them off and let them hold your target while you pound it with VM and whatever weapons your using,,if they use pol hull or apo,,then you tractor with your vesta and VM them ,,,again dead in the water. With his jam sensors and double placates and VM its nearly impossible for me to get more than one full powered rapid fire volley off on him,,,matter of fact the time i killed him i caught him with a cobalt crit and whiped around and finished him off before he could do anything.

Now I see 14 ways to counter 1 ability so unless you completely fail at building a ship you have no reason to complain. And I don't want to hear any of this " oh well I shouldn't have to break my build to counter it" just adapt and overcome

-"There is no such thing as an I win button!""Um, Sir. Whats this button that says (I win) for then?"

This is flawed logic,,,as how many ships do you know have ALL these qualities at once? And your failing to recognize its continued tractor spam from those pets,,you break out using 1-2 abilities then the main ship tractors and spams VM while releasing more tractor spam pets
